What is the Sprout NFT?

🌱 What is the Sprout NFT?

The Sprout NFT is more than just a digital collectible — it’s your entry into the GROW Blockchain, a network focused on food, farmers, and the future.

Owning a Sprout NFT means you’re part of something bigger: a movement to make blockchain more decentralized, accessible, and regenerative.

💡 What Do You Get with a Sprout NFT?

1. Lite Node Activation

Each Sprout NFT comes with a Lite Node — a mini version of a validator that still plays an important role in the blockchain.

Your node helps:

• Verify and share data across the GROW chain

• Track and tokenize real-world things like crops and goods

• Support a greener, more sustainable blockchain for agriculture

Even though it's smaller (1/100th of a Smart Node), your Lite Node helps decentralize the network — and you earn micro-rewards just for keeping it active.

2. Ecosystem Rewards

As a Sprout Node operator, you’ll receive ongoing token rewards for helping run the network. These tokens can be:

• Staked to vote on ecosystem decisions

• Spent in GROW apps

• Redeemed for real-world items and services

3. Nourish Marketplace Discount

You also get special perks in the Nourish Marketplace — GROW’s version of a digital farmer’s market.

As a Sprout NFT holder, you can:

• Save on food from GROW partner farms

• Use your tokens to buy healthy, sustainable goods

• Support farmers directly and transparently

🌍 Why the Sprout NFT Matters

• You decentralize – Your Lite Node helps spread power across the network

• You earn – You receive crypto rewards for your contribution

• You nourish – You save money and support real-world agriculture

🌳 The Philosophy Behind It

Sprouts make forests.
Not every node needs to be massive.

The Sprout NFT is a way to plant digital roots in a meaningful, growing ecosystem. Every participant matters — and every contribution helps build a better future.

Sprout NFT/Grow Lite Node 30 Days of Free Node Hosting with Block Fabric

What is included 

• 30-day free hosting
• Each Sprout NFT includes 30 days of free hosting for your Sprout Node (Lite Node) on Block Fabric, Grow’s trusted infrastructure partner.

 This allows you to start earning and participating without any hosting fees. 

Why is hosting needed? 

Your Sprout Node is a lightweight validator that helps power the Grow Blockchain. Hosting ensures it runs 24/7, remains in sync with the chain, and earns token rewards — even if you’re not technically managing a server. 

How do I activate my 30-day hosting? 

Simply activate your Sprout NFT, then log in HERE and create an account with Block fabric.  Once the account is created you will deploy a Lite node (You can run up to 20 Lite nodes on 1 Lite node instance). You will initial be charged for the hosting but then you will see a credit on your next months invoice.

Reminder: Use your Grow account email and password, to deploy the node so it pings the right account.

When does hosting begin? 

Once you have deployed your instance, check your Grow account one hour later and you should see you nodes online.

Example:

If you own 2 Lite nodes your dashboard will show: 2/2 (if Lite nodes are online)

Reminder: Even with hosting a node with a VPS provider you will want to regularly monitor your Grow dashboard, so you know your node does not go offline.

What do I do if my Node goes offline?

Log into your Block Fabric account and destroy the instance.  Once that is done you can deploy the instance again, remember to wait an hour before you check your Grow dashboard to see if the redeployment worked.

What happens after 30 days? 

You can choose to: 

•  Continue hosting via Block Fabric (paid monthly)
• Move to another VPS service (you’ll do all technical setup, etc.)
• Move to your own infrastructure (DIY)
• Pause your node (you will not earn rewards while paused)
